TWiP Family 69: Christine Pobke on Building a Family Photography Business

This episode of the podcast is an interview with Christine Pobke. Christine is a family photographer based in Canberra, Australia. She’s a mother of two girls and is expecting a new baby early next year.

We talk about how Christine built her family photography business and how it has evolved in the last year to include in person sales. Christine taught an online class titled, “Building Your Business.” She says the biggest mistake she sees new photographers make when starting out is their pricing. She also talks about all the excuses photographers have for not charging more. Christine tells us about the challenges of running a business as a mother of small children and how she’s planning to continue her work when her new baby is born.

I’m doing a daily photo project. You can see my project and the 365 projects of other TWiP Family listeners in the TWiP Family 365 Project 2016 group on Flickr. It’s not too late to start a project. Join us.
